just weird

So i built a computer for another person a while back, and it worked fine on my monitor's 15-pin vga. I bring it over to the person's house and his monitor is missing 3 pins! I said blah whatever, i put it in, and the farthest it can get is the windows xp screen! After that, it blanks. I know the computer is still running though, because I hear the startup sound, and I can shut it down with the keyboard (windows key, up enter, enter!). It worked perfectly fine on my monitor, so i'm guessing it's her monitor, what do you guys think? The weird part is that it worked on his monitor before, but i did a reformat (filthy spyware + malware) and now it doesn't get pass the windows xp loading screen. Is this person cursed, or it just me :shrug:

My first guess would be too high vsync.
What you describe happens to a old monitor I have if I try to run vsync higher than 60 at 1024x768.
Boot in safe mode and set vsync(refresh rate) lower.

My moniter had 2 broken pins and it did the exact same thing. I just bought an extention cable which had the pins in it and it fixed the problem. I got it from a computer repair shop, take a look around where you live.

That makes sense, because I did set it at 1024x768 on my monitor, maybe thats why it worked before and not now, I think I had it at 800x600 before.

If changing the res doesn't work i'll try that also
